CORRECTION

Several days ago we posted a great quote from Abraham Lincoln. Unfortunately Lincoln never said these words. The recognized author is Rev. William John Henry Boetcker who penned them in the early 1900's. For the full story check out the Snopes Link:

The words are still good, and the evidence shows that they were used, in part, by President Ronald Reagan. Now thats a fact. Below are the words again for your review. Special thanks to our VW Neighbor for sending us the truth. Good job. We appreciate it !

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
